ARTnecdote is a rich representation of contemporary art at its finest, carefully created and curated by Ofobuike Okudoh in a concise document to enrich your art senses. Lines , layered scribbles , patterns - These are the main avenues through through which life emanates from my delicate but profound pen , ink , and oil pastel illustrations . The mystery that surrounds human ( female notably) anatomy coupled with the richness of my Nigerian(Igbo, Yoruba and Benin) heritage further pushes the boundaries as regards the elements of my illustrations. When ink meets paper, a sense of belonging manifests and consequently gives rise to innate tranquility. Spirituality, African masquerades, beauty of afro hair, tribal scarifications and the erasure of societal & racial standards of beauty are the most pertinent subject matters that influence my medium of portraying the art of lines and illustration.
